'E  would  call  the 
generally,  to  our 


and  the  trade 
owing  to  the 


attention  of  our  customers 
ready  mixed  Paints,  which, 

rapidly  increasing  demand,  we  have  arranged  to  manufacture 
on  a more  extensive  scale  than  heretofore,  in  connection  with  our  other 
well-known  Asbestos  Materials  for  Structural  and  Mechanical  purposes. 

These  Paints  are  the  results  of  careful  experiments  made  during  a 
series  of  years,  and  are  combined  on  different  principles  from  any  other  Liquid 
Paints  in  the  market.  They  have  been  found  on  trial,  to  withstand  the 
severest  tests  of  climatic  changes,  salt  water  atmosphere,  and  other  trying 
exposures  where  the  best  white  lead  has  failed,  and  we  now  offer  them  as 
strictly  reliable  and  first-class  paints,  second  to  none  in  purity,  richness 
and  permanency  of  color,  beauty  of  finish,  durability  and  all  characteris- 
tics which  are  requisite  to  form  a perfect  protective  covering.  They  are 
prepared  ready  for  the  brush,  but  may  be  thinned  if  desired,  the  same  as 
any  oil  paints. 

They  contain  an  indestructible  element  not  posessed  by  any  other 
paint,  in  combination  with  an  ingredient  which  strengthens  or  toughens  the 
linseed  oil,  and  renders  it  more  opaque;  consequently,  less  coloring  mat- 
ter is  required  to  produce  the  desired  covering  “body”  in  which  these  paints 
excel  all  others.  It  is  perhaps  needless  to  add,  the  wearing  properties  of  all 
paints  inhere  in  the  oily  body,  and  not  in  the  pigments. 

The  Asbestos  Paints  are  especially  valuable  for  Factories,  Railroad 
Buildings,  Iron  Works,  etc.,  and  will  be  found  more  economical  than  any 
others.  They  are  also  the  most  desirable  paints  in  the  market  for  Villas, 
Cottages,  Outbuildings,  etc. 

We  do  not  intend  to  compete  in  price  with  the  cheap  paints  with 
which  the  market  is  flooded,  nor  can  we  compete  with  “chemical”  or  other 
paints  which  are  composed  largely  of  water  and  other  inexpensive  ingredi- 
ents. We  use  the  best  pure  linseed  oil  and  colors  in  combination  with  the 
materials  nbuve  referred  to,  which  add  an  elastic  quality  never  before  at- 
tained in  any  paint  or  coating,  and  which  prevent  our  paints  from  cracking 
or  scaling. 

No  water,  alkalies,  lime,  or  other  deleterious  substances  are  used  in 
these  paints,  and  when  it  becomes  generally  understood  that  paints  which 
contain  water  do  not  form  a proper  protective  coating  unless  more  than 
the  usual  number  of  coats  are  applied — owing  to  the  fact  that  the  water, 
after  having  served  to  spread  such  paints,  quickly  evaporates,  leaving  only 
about  half  the  body  which  is  supposed  to  have  been  obtained — it  will  be 
readily  perceived  that,  even  if  as  good  in  other  respects,  the  “water  paints” 
at  one-half  our  prices  would  still  be  more  expensive,  owing  to  the  ad- 
ditional cost  of  package,  transportation,  loss'  by  evaporation  or  freezing, 
and  extra  labor  required  in  applying  two  coats,  where  one  coat  of  undiluted 
paint  would  produce,  to  say  the  least,  an  equally  good  result. 


This  explanation  lias  seemed  necessary  to  enable  us  to  place  ourselves 
fairly  before  the  public  in  the  matter  of  prices,  which  we  claim  to  be  as 
low  as  those  of  any  other  manufacturer  in  the  country — quality  considered. 

Much  has  been  written  and  published  by  numerous  manufacturers  of 
Paints,  relative  to  harmonizing  colors,  how,  when  and  where  to  use,  etc. 
c]  We  presume  our  customers  will  know  their  own  wants,  but  we  will 
cheerfully  give  all  needful  information  about  paints  and  colors  generally, 
quantities  and  shades  necessary  or  desirable  for  special  purposes,  etc.,  which 
information  is  based  upon  the  experience  of  one  of  the  best  practical  house 
painters  in  this  country.  Special  instructions  which  will  enable  any  one 
to  produce  the  best  results,  will  be  furnished  upon  application. 

JggPWe  would  call  particular  attention  to  the  superior  “covering” 
properties  of  the  Asbestos  Paints;  two  coats  of  which  will  form  a perfect 
covering  and  glossy  finish  on  weather-beaten  boards,  or  other  surfaces 
which  require  three  or  four  coats  of  ordinary  paint.  One  gallon  will  cover 
from  i So  to  200  square  feet,  two  coats. 

Many  paints  are  called  fire-proof,  with  reference  no  doubt,  to  the 
pigments  and  not  the  oils  with  which  they  are  combined;  the  Asbestos 
Paints  are  not  offered  as  being  strictly  fire-proof,  but  they  will  be  found  a 
protection  against  this  element  superior  to  any  other  after  they  become 
thoroughly  dry. 

It  may  be  well  to  mention  that  our  paints  are  manufactured  under  the 
supervision  of  a practical  paint  maker  of  more  than  twenty  years  experience, 
and  who  was  for  many  years  the  superintendent  of  one  of  the  most  extensive 
paint  and  color  works  in  the  United  States. 

Our  facilities  for  procuring  materials  and  for  producing  paints  of  the 
best  quality  in  any  desired  quantities,  at  the  lowest  possible  cost,  are 
unexcelled  by  those  of  any  other  manufacturer,  and  no  pains  or  expense 
will  be  spared  which  will  tend  to  insure  their  use  as  the  Standard 
Paints  for  Structural  Purposes.

As  comparatively  but  few  shades  are  really  required  for  the  tasteful  decoration  of  the 
various  classes  of  buildings,  and  as  at  least  ninety  percent,  of  such  work  cun  be  satisfactorily 
done  with  the  standard  shades  herein  shown,  the  difficulty  and  confusion  so  frequently 
arising  in  the  selection  of  the  desired  colors  from  among  fifty  or  one  hundred  samples,  and 
the  necessity  of  keeping  a large  amount  of  " dead  stock ” are  entirely  obviated. 

We  will  manufacture  any  desired  shade  to  order,  and  would  call 
particular  attention  to  our  “Asbestos  White”  for  outside  or  inside  work, 
which  we  guarantee  to  be  superior  to  the  best  white  lead  and  oil.  We 
also  manufacture  Asbestos  Fire  Proof  Paint  in  light  shades,  which  is 
entirely  different  from  any  coating  heretofore  produced.  It  forms  an 
inexpensive  and  effective  protection  for  Factories,  Bridges,  Boiler-rooms, 
and  other  wooden  structures  in  danger  of  ignition  from  sparks,  cinders,  or 
flames.  It  is  also  an  economical  and  desirable  substitute  for  white  lead, 
for  preserving  the  class  of  Outbuildings,  Fences,  etc.  which  are  usually 
left  unpainted.  Price,  75  cents  per  gallon,  in  barrels.

IIIS  Paint  is  a strictly  reliable  article,  prepared  ready  for  use  expressly  for  coating 
jsJI^  and  preserving  Tin  and  other  Roofs.  It  is,  in  many  respects,  an  improvement 
upon  the  Root  Paints  manufactured  by  us  during  the  past  eighteen  years,  and  is  a 
^ better  article  than  has  ever  before  been  offered  to  the  public  for  this  purpose.  It  is 
composed  of  pure  linseed  oi  combined  with  other  materials,  which,  by  long  experience, 
we  have  found  best  calculated  to  withstand  the  rough  usage  and  trying  exposure  to  which 
roofs,  above  all  other  surfaces,  are  subject,  and  contains  no  tar,  petroleum,  or  rosin  oils, 
or  other  offensive  or  deleterious  ingredients. 

Its  color  is  a rich  brown.  It  possesses  a very  elastic  body,  is  not  liable  to  injury  from 
being  walked  upon,  and  is  the  only  paint  which  will  not  discolor  when  applied  over  tar 
coatings. 

Old  leaky  Tin  and  other  Roofs,  can  be  restored  and  rendered  serviceable  for  many 
years  with  this  paint,  (in  connection  with  our  Asbestos  Cement,)  and  although  not  a 
“cheap  paint,”  it  will  be  found  more  economical  than  any  other. 

It  is  also  valuable  for  Iron  and  Wood  work,  and  forms  the  handsomest  and  most 
durable  preservative  coating  in  use  for  Fences,  Outbuildings  Gas  Holders,  bridges,  Car 
and  Steamboat  Roofs,  &c.  It  can  be  readily  applied  by  any  one  with  an  ordinary  paint 
brush;  but  if  a large  surface  is  to  be  covered,  we  would  recommend  the  use  of  our 
improved  Roofing  brush.  One  gallon  will  cover  250  to  300  square  feet.

"We  ■would  Call  Particular  Attention  to  th.o  Following  Facts: 

We  offer  our  Paints  as  the  best  ever  produced  for  outside  Work,  and' they  are  not 
excelled  by  any  for  inside  work. 

We  sell  them  by  the  U.  S.  Standard  gallon,  and  as  can  be  readily  proven  by  com- 
parison with  others,  our  packages  contain  from  10  to  12  per  cent,  more  paint  than  is  usually 
sold  for  the  same  quantity.  This  important  fact  should  be  borne  in  mind  when  comparing 
our  prices  with  those  of  other  manufacturers. 

To  ascertain  if  Liquid  Paints  contain  water,  glue,  or  alkalies,  add  a little  water — it 
will  be  found  that  water  cannot  be  mixed  with  our  paints.
